Main workplaces

Public Defenders and Legal Aid Attorneys they work in the Public Defender's Office, which constitutes the third tripod of essential services to the jurisdictional function of the State. It results from an expansion of the concept of free legal assistance, which is now considered one of the fundamental rights of the citizen. Defenders and Public Prosecutors work together, although in diametrically opposed tasks. The Public Defender is not a private lawyer, nor is he a public lawyer, insofar as he does not defend the interests of the Union or of the States, but of the people. They work individually, without supervision and during the day. Eventually, they work under pressure, leading to constant stress.
